[Chapter 174 The New Home is Finally Built]
Although the modernization of Winter Town has just begun.
But as the first blacksmith in Winter Town, Will has access to a lot of first-hand information and equipment. Through long-term tutoring, he has learned that most of the partners in Winter Town come from a more advanced world than him.
Even Tirion Fording, who looks like he came from the “ancient times”, has advanced technology in Azeroth.
After learning a lot of knowledge and living in the clean and tidy Winter Town for so long, he is less and less willing to return to Royal Port.
Elizabeth is in a similar situation. Especially after learning that David is going to build Winter Town into a city with various advanced infrastructures, she has considered letting her father move to Winter Town more than once.
Anyway, it is impossible to do the job of governor for a lifetime. When he leaves office, he will bring all his family assets to Winter Town.
The only thing that exceeded her plan was that her father left office a little early, and the way he left office seemed a little embarrassing.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Baron Glamorgan.”
Weatherby Swan has been the governor for many years and has experienced many years of experience in officialdom. Although he encountered a sudden change and came to a strange place inexplicably under the leadership of his daughter.
But he did not show any panic or confusion, but carefully tidied his clothes. After making sure that he was not rude, he greeted David respectfully.
“Welcome, Mr. Weatherby Swan.”
The arrival of Weatherby Swan has added a group of people to Winter Town, but these people basically serve the Swan family, and may become the service of the Swan and Turner families in the future.
What surprised David was that in addition to Weatherby Swan and a group of servants coming to Winter Town, there was another person who also appeared in this “escape” team.
James Norrington.
The commodore of Port Royal was originally a law-abiding general who hated pirates very much. As a result, he was inexplicably accused of colluding with pirates. Beckett wanted to seize various powers in Port Royal. As the military commander of Port Royal, Norrington was naturally on his list of targets.
It was for this reason that when Elizabeth asked Laura and Sylvanas for help to launch a counterattack against Lord Beckett, Norrington also joined in, which basically blocked his possibility of continuing to serve the Royal Navy.
Norrington, who had nowhere to go, was invited by Governor Weatherby Swan, who admired him very much, to come to Winter Town, which was described by Elizabeth as “a magical place where we can start a new life and never worry about retaliation from Britain.”
Although Norrington once pursued Elizabeth and was a rival in love with Will,
when he realized that Elizabeth did not like him and Will also loved Elizabeth, he simply chose to withdraw and sent his blessings to the two.
His gentlemanly demeanor also attracted Will’s favor, so Will also welcomed Norrington to Winter Town, and even solemnly recommended the former British Royal Navy Commodore to David.
“Although Winter Town has no navy now… not even a fishing boat, I believe James will help you in the future.” Will looked at the vast river not far away. A river like Winter River with a huge water flow will be used by David sooner or later.
At that time, a former naval commander with rich experience will definitely play a big role.
“Winter Town will not always be without a navy.”
After personally welcoming Weatherby Swan and James Norrington, how to arrange these people next is Elizabeth and Will’s business.
David was pulled aside by Laura, and when he was surrounded by “his own people”, he suddenly took something out of the storage bracelet.
“Look at what this is?”
“What is this?” David looked at the thing in Laura’s hand. It seemed to be a stick? Or it could be some kind of weapon? “Some ancient weapon with special significance?”
“This is Poseidon’s trident.”
“…” David suddenly remembered that the Caribbean world did have Poseidon’s trident, and that thing looked quite unique.
The trident in my memory didn’t seem to look like this, did it?
“Is this the trident?” David pointed to the end that Laura was holding up: “Where’s the fork?”
“It encountered an accident and broke.”
Laura didn’t think there was anything wrong. Thinking back to the several adventures Laura had experienced, although she was able to successfully achieve her goals every time, these things were always destroyed by various things, and in the end, only some marginal souvenirs were left.
Compared with the previous times, she felt that it was a great improvement to be able to bring back the trident relatively intact this time.
“Besides, it doesn’t matter whether there is a fork or not. I want to know what kind of power this thing has? Aren’t you curious?”
“I am indeed curious.”
The trident of Poseidon, the sea king, is a serious artifact. Although it looks a bit ugly, like a piece of broken wood that is about to rot, it should contain some powerful mysterious power, right?
Perhaps after successfully stimulating that mysterious power, the trident would suddenly glow and reveal its true handsome appearance?
Thinking of this, he was no longer so repulsive to the ugly stick in front of him. He turned it over and over in his hand, and even mobilized the holy light to test it, but there was no reaction at all.
“I’ve tried it a long time ago, and it doesn’t react to holy light, nor to arcane energy.”
“…”
David looked at Laura and secretly sighed that Laura was really bold. She dared to try everything. Wasn’t she afraid of provoking Poseidon?
You know, those guys in Greek mythology are not serious fun.
As if seeing through David’s complaints, Laura replied directly: “If Poseidon really appears, I will run back to Winter Town immediately.” With the return
to the city skill that can be used at any time, she is indeed not worried about provoking any powerful enemies.
Then, Laura asked David about the situation there.
“I thought you would stay in that world for a long time, but you came back before me.”
“Things over there are simpler.”
Things in the Transformers world are not complicated to begin with, and David also used the power of the Autobots and human officials to achieve his goals.
If he was left to do it himself, it would be troublesome.
Not only does he have to run around the world, but he also has to deal with several forces, either one is dissatisfied or the other is making trouble.
For example, Laura wanted to enjoy the adventure process and go to find and get the trident herself. So, not to mention other things, it would take a lot of time just to travel on the sea.
However, one of them was going to do business, and the other was going to have fun and relax. This essential difference led to their different styles of doing things.
While talking about their respective gains, he took Laura to see the situation of the Diggers.
Seeing these huge Cybertron engineers building various buildings at a rapid speed, the Winter Fortress, which was originally thought to be completed in autumn, seemed to be able to move in before autumn.
“At this speed, you should think carefully about what furniture you need to buy.”
“By the way, I’ll take Arcee to your place when I’m free.”
“Why?”
“Arcee wants to scan a supercar to make her own car form. I think you are the only one who can meet her requirements.”
Unlike David who chose an American muscle car, Arcee prefers European supercars. As for whether supercars can really run in the land of Brunnia, Arcee doesn’t care at all. Anyway, with the development of Winter Town, there will be a suitable road sooner or later.
“I do have a few sports cars at home, but I don’t care much about this kind of thing, so there are only a few cars at home. Do you want me to help buy a few?”
“…”
David originally thought that Laura would take Arcee to a car show or something to scan it, but he didn’t expect Laura to buy a few cars as soon as she opened her mouth. The tone was almost the same as going downstairs to buy two bottles of beer.
“You can do whatever you want.”
Laura was indeed casual. After returning to Winter Town to rest for a day, she took Arcee to her own world the next day and quickly scanned a new car form and came back.
David looked at Arcee in front of him. He didn’t care that Arcee chose McLaren P1 as her car image, and he was not surprised that Arcee also scanned a human image by the way. He was surprised by the image itself.
“Did you copy this image from the movie Casablanca?”
“It’s the data provided by Laura.” Arcee looked at herself. She was quite satisfied with her current human appearance: “Is there a problem?”
“No problem.”
“If you think it’s strange, I can also change to another image.” Arcee thought the ability of the hermit warrior was very interesting, especially the ability to change the appearance continuously.
David felt the same way, except that he liked to tinker with mechanical images: “It would be great if we could keep multiple image data templates, so that we can transform into whatever we want when we transform.” Just
as Arcee, in addition to patrolling every day, taught soldiers how to drive vehicles and airplanes, and studied her own transformation ability;
David also began a stable and boring daily practice life; the
Swan family began to gradually adapt to the life in Winter Town;
the soldiers of the Winter Knights were trained to death by several instructors, and time passed day by day.
As the hottest days of midsummer passed, the diggers finally completed the construction of all the infrastructure of Winter Town and the palace that would become the new residence of David and his family.
Looking at the building in front of him, which was the same as the famous house except for the color of the wall, David began to feel troubled.
At this time, almost all the companions gathered around and looked at David together. Laura asked the question on behalf of everyone: “I’m afraid the name Winter Fortress is not suitable. Have you thought about what to name your new home?”
